Monster Scenes Comic Covers

I've been a bit busy over the weekend, so for today's post I'm going to post some EC-like comic covers I made using the Monster Scenes models.

   

Monster Scenes: Latest Updates

I don't know about you guys, but I never truly complete work on a model, I just finally abandon working on them after a while. Sometimes I find myself getting a model out and working on it again. This happened recently with my Monster Scenes models. I did a bit detail painting today, along with a couple of additions... A sign and little hanging shelf for Dr. Deadly's library of lurid medical books.

Monster Scenes: Collection Completed

After Dencomm acquired the rights to the name "Monster Scenes," the company licensed Moebius Models to begin re-releasing the Aurora Monster Scenes kits. Using the original tooling, six kits were initially released including Dr. Deadly, The Victim, Frankenstein, and The Hanging Cage. Later the license for Vampirella was worked out with Dynamite publishing allowing for the release of her model. However, without the tooling for Dracula and Jekyll/Hyde it seemed there was nothing else left to release.

Dracula

Dracula joined the Monster Scenes models today.
When Aurora cancelled the Monster Scenes line back in the early seventies, the Dracula kit was ready for release. Along with Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde and the Giant Insect kits, it was later released in Canada, but not in the USA. The original kit is extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors. Dencomm through Moebius Models had already released the Giant Insect, but not the other two models as they didn't have the molds. Monarch Models released the kits as a set in November of 2015. Regrettably, Monarch went out of business in 2016, making this set its last release. Limited to only 1000 sets, the kits were never offered to hobby shops or distributors.

Repaints and a Big Score

Monster Scenes models have been the focus for the past couple of weeks as The Dungeon and Animal Pit models were recently brought out and assembled and painted. Afterwards, all the old models were added to the new ones to create one big scene, seen in the previous post. While setting up, it was determined that some of the older models were in need of some attention.

One Big Monsterous Scene

I completed The Animal Pit. All of the models have been brought together to form one large scene. The paint job on the big zap generator and the pain parlor control panel have been overhauled from the light blue that was used originally to a more aesthetically pleasing aluminum.

Monster Scenes - The Dungeon

I've been meaning to build The Dungeon and The Animal Pit for while now. During the Thanksgiving break I found the time to build them both. I will post pictures of The Animal Pit later, but for this post I wanted to show off the completed Dungeon...
